AG,

Yes! I have a huge dental phobia. I have searched High and Low and finally found a wonderful Dentist who is very nice and gentle and talks to me like I am a child. It's actually very soothing. She knows I have panic attacks so she is x-tra gentle.
Angie has a good idea. Anbesol is pretty good. That or oragel. Tooth aches suck. I am so sorry. I know that is painful. (((((((((((((((((AG)))))))))))))))))
